MOSCOW — As American and allied officials celebrated the opening of a long-awaited missile defense system in Europe with a ribbon cutting and a band, the reaction in Russia on Thursday was much bleaker and suggested the system had raised the risks of a nuclear war.

Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin, also known as “Vladimir the Ruthless” reiterated their position that the American-built missile defense shield compromised Russia’s security, and could be used for launching a quick, devastating first strike against Russia.

Likening the moral standing of the world today to how things were in the time of Noah before the flood, Ovadia states that the world today is saturated with “immodesty, immorality, debauchery, nasty desires. Our world must be cleaned, no matter what.”

According to filmmaker and Jewish lecturer Yuval Ovadia, “God did not create the world in order for us to have fun, to travel, to get entertained. This is not His goal. The world was created in order to worship Hashem (God), to fulfill all the mitzvot (commandments) given to us on Mount Sinai.”

Yet, we live in a world increasingly overwhelmed with material excess and immorality.

Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch,Vice-President of the Rabbinical Court and the Head of the Edah HaChareidis in Jerusalem, paid a rare visit to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky at his home in Bnei Barak. They are two of the most prominent Torah figures alive today. Conversations between such great men have enormous significance and the Hebrew-language website Kikar Shabbat recorded the dialogue between these two great rabbis.

An end of days scenario has suddenly appeared in Japan and Ecuador as seven major earthquakes hit both coasts of the Pacific in 96 hours. Many seismologists are convinced this is only the beginning of a global phenomenon, but rabbis and people of faith recognize this as part of the Messianic process.

Rabbi Yitzchak Cohen and Rabbi Ben Artzi both predict that Nibiru or Planet X has come into our Solar System and Chaos and apocalyptic events will occur, but the Holy Land is safe. What does the Bible say?

Whether you call it Planet X, Nibiru, a comet or a star, the forthcoming disturbance in the solar system is still hotly contested.

NASA claims, “Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist.”

The elusive Planet X, or Nibiru, with its unimaginably long 27-million-year orbit, is still only a theory to many. But one astrophysicist believes it spells doom for Earth. Nibiru’s arrival this month, he says, will bring about a mass extinction of untold proportions.
